sorting support? #125

Open theoephraim opened 4 years ago

theoephraim commented 4 years ago

Been looking all over for a jsonpath type tool that supports sorting - ie sort the items in an array by a property within a query/path. A similar example is described here using an extension in a python jsonpath implementation.

In their implementation, slashes are used to signify sort and which direction, but I can imagine other alternatives and it is by no means a standard as I have yet to see it anywhere you else. You can imagine a path of items[\price][3].name to "get the names of top 3 items sorted by price (descendin)"

Does this seem feasible to add to this tool? I imagine many folks would want to use this kind of query, and could be worth supporting.

This library is not currently being very actively developed, especially for new features. However, we should be able to review any PRs.
